About the Episode:
265,000! That’s how many of you/us work in Solar Energy so far (and rapidly growing!)
Yet, with 4 million solar installations in the U.S alone, Solar Energy is rarely featured in mainstream media. WHY?
Probably True Solar Stories, a podcast created by Tor Valenza, also known as Solar Fred, aims to bridge this content gap with engaging solar-themed fictional tales.
Valenza, once a Hollywood writer for shows like "The Dead Zone," "Dharma and Greg," and "Stargate SG-1” brings a uniquely solar flair (get it? 😉).
This BONUS episode features Solar Fred sharing a whimsical story about a wedding he actually officiated at RE+ several years back. Loosely based on real events, the narrative follows Matt and Molly, two solar industry professionals who plan to wed at the convention with the help of their industry friends. When an unexpected blackout threatens their plans, the solar community bands together to pull off an unforgettable off-grid celebration on a Las Vegas rooftop.
Stay tuned for Solar Fred's collaboration with Resource Labs and definitely subscribe to Probably True Solar Stories — where the power of the sun meets the power of stories!
NOTEWORTHY QUOTE:
“We’ve got 265,000 Solar workers, give or take and we’ve got four and a half million or 4 million solar installations in the US alone today. And yet, solar is pretty much invisible in film, TV and pop culture today.”
“So what’s the probably true solar story? It’s quite simply a story that is fictional, that always involves solar.”
